)The property is a terraced dwelling located on Bowles Way in Dunstable. The proposal consists of a single storey rear extension with a width of 5.5m, a depth of 4m and a height of 2.3m at the eaves, and 3.4m at the highest point.
The extension will be modestly sized and located at the rear of the property, therefore there would be no detrimental impact on the host dwelling or the wider street scene.
The proposal will reach the boundary with both neighbouring properties (13 and 17 Bowles Way), however existing boundary treatment in the form of a 2m fence between the properties would negate any significant impact upon the amenity enjoyed by these neighbours.
All other neighbours are considered sufficiently separated from the proposal for there to be any material impact.
Several properties within the vicinity of the site (notably 9 and 11 Bowles Way), have increased the built form at the rear of the properties, therefore it is not considered that the proposal will appear at odds with the existing grain and pattern of development.
Dunstable Town Council were consulted and raised no objection. This application was also subject to a public and neighbour consultation and no representations were received.
Given the siting, design and scale of the proposal it is not considered that the proposal will result in any material impact on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties or on the character and the appearance of the surrounding area. The proposal is therefore considered to be in conformity with Policy HQ1 of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan and the Central Bedfordshire Design Guide.The property is a terraced dwelling located on Bowles Way in Dunstable.

)Will a new extension affect your Council Tax Charge?
The rate of Council Tax you pay depends on which valuation band your home is placed in. This is determined by the market value of your home as at 1 April 1991.
Your property's Council Tax band may change if the property is extended. The Council Tax band will only change when a relevant transaction takes place. For example, if you sell your property after extending it, the new owner may have to pay a higher band of Council Tax.
If however you add an annexe to your property, the Valuation Office Agency may decide that the annexe should be banded separately for Council Tax. If this happens, you will have to start paying Council Tax for the annexe as soon as it is completed. If the annexe is occupied by a relative of the residents of the main dwelling, it may qualify for a Council Tax discount or exemption. Contact the Council for advice on 0300 300 8306.
